My first thought as I closed this book was “Dammit, why isn’t there more!” which should go a long way to explaining why this second book from Ms. Martin is a DIK from me. As far as I’m concerned, here are the criteria for you to buy this immediately. Do you like contemporary romance? Do…
I’m always interested to see how older titles bear up over time and Lady Cat has a premise I rather like, so it was an easy choice. That premise is one that is also featured in one of my favourite historical romances, Lorraine Heath’s Waking up with the Duke; that of a man who needs…
I enjoyed the first two books in the Rugby series and frequently recommend them to fans looking for great sports romances. Entertaining, romantic and filled with great locker room banter and sports references, The Cad and the Co-ed is a delightful addition to this particular series. But … it isn’t quite as strong as the…
One thing you can say about Harlequin Historicals – What You See is generally What You Get when it comes to titles, and The Governess’s Secret Baby is pretty much exactly what it says on the cover. This is the final book of The Governess Tales, a set of four books written by four different…
I’m a big fan of hot contemporary romance series and looked forward to the Made in New Jersey books by Tessa Bailey. I very much enjoyed another book I read of Ms. Bailey’s – Chase Me. That story featured relatable characters with great chemistry, sharp, witty dialogue, and steamy sex scenes. My expectations were high…
When the Rogue Returns is an entertaining and undemanding read – I whipped through it in a couple of sessions – but the fast pacing and the intriguing storyline of the re-building of a marriage couldn’t quite disguise the fact that the characterization was somewhat thin and that the plot hinged on one element which…
This book is the second in Susan Fox’s Caribou Crossings series, but readers need not read the first book in order to enjoy this one. It does well as a stand-alone. This is a fairly solid book that might have made it into DIK territory if the author had not resorted to more than one…
Okay, I’ll admit it, the title of this book is really sappy, and sounds like something I would hate. And yes, secret child stories are way overdone and are something many readers avoid. However, in the hands of the right author, even an overused plot device can work. Not only did it work here, I…
I love unique settings and the fictional island of Mirabelle is brought to life so successfully that it almost seemed like an additional character in First Come Twins. More importantly, the book features a likeable and realistic tortured hero and a troubled heroine. It is the best category romance I’ve read this year. Fifteen years…
The final installment in Susan Mallery’s Keyes sisters trilogy, provides redemption for Jesse, the family bad girl. Despite her checkered past, I found her to be a likable, interesting heroine. Five years have passed since Jesse – pregnant and broke – left Seattle after being wrongly accused of having sex with her sister Nicole’s then-husband…
